This module examines how contracts are formed and their express and implied terms. It explores why contracts may be invalid on the grounds of misrepresentation, duress and undue influence. It examines circumstances which make contracts illegal or unenforceable. It details the possible modes of discharge by examining performance and non-performance of obligations.
